Design & Development / Delicious
« on: January 30, 2014, 02:13:34 AM »
Some of you may already know from other sites, but I've started my fourth papercut transformation deck. This year's deck is called Delicious, and it's all about food and eating/drinking.

Here are the first few cards.

The Conversation Parlor / What happened to 52cartes?

Anyone know what happened to the 52cartes blog and to Remi Chaanbi, the man who ran it? I noticed the blog has been deleted, and Remi hasn't been active on Facebook since May.

Design & Development / SAWDUST - Coming to Kickstarter Sept. 4
« on: January 31, 2013, 10:48:33 AM »
Hi Everyone,

As some of you already know, my third papercut transformation deck has a circus theme.

The deck is called SAWDUST. In circuses of the past, sawdust was used for the floors of the rings, and I was inspired after watching Cecil B. DeMille's film, The Greatest Show on Earth.

"That's all, ladies and gentlemen, that's all. Come again to the greatest show on earth.
Bring the children. Bring the old folks. You can shake the sawdust off your feet, but you can't shake it outta your heart.
Come again, folks. The Greatest Show on Earth. Come again." - Midway Barker from The Greatest Show on Earth

Playing Card Plethora / McKittrick Hotel Playing Cards
« on: November 04, 2012, 09:06:40 PM »
I found this deck that's being sold by the McKittrick Hotel gift shop in NYC. It has bird and bat taxidermy imagery, but I don't know if it's a USPC deck. It has 56 cards and has four "13" cards, a symbolic number to the hotel.

The limited edition print of the Ace of Spades is now sold out, but the joker print and the deck appear to be in stock.

Some of you already know that I'm working on a second paper cutting deck this year, which has a bird theme. So far, I've made the first 4 cards.

 Anyways, I'm unsure of what I should name the deck. "Flock," "Aves," "Ornithology" "Dodo" are all ideas I've been thinking about, but I was wondering what you guys think. I'm definitely open to other suggestions too.

Introduce Yourself / Salutations!
« on: December 05, 2011, 11:50:06 AM »
Hi, my name is Emmanuel, and fellow Discourse member Brown_Baggs introduced me to this site  :D


Since I was a kid I've always loved playing cards for their artistry, and I'm finally doing something about my fascination with them by designing a transformation deck this year.


I'm amazed by the amount of information here, and I have no doubt that The Discourse will become a new favorite site of mine!
